The Space:
Settle into a comfortable, family-friendly cabin designed for easy gatherings and relaxing downtime. With 4 private bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and two additional sleeper sofas, the home works well for multi-generational families and groups traveling together.
Unwind in the main living area after a day of exploring, or enjoy the seasonal gas fireplace (October–March). A game room with foosball invites friendly competition, and multiple bedrooms open to the deck for fresh mountain air. Outside, fire up the BBQ grill and enjoy the garden/backyard space, then cap the evening with a soak in the private hot tub.
